Excellent Dave, thanks very much for sharing,wish I had a few of those 6234 Chronos.

[Subfiend]

You're welcome guys. For what I paid for this formerly "free" brochure, I could have bought a 6234 chrono and a 5508 Sub back in 1960. :crying:

I have better scans of the booklet on my office computer, but today is a holiday. I will replace these scans in a few days.

Thanks for the nostalgic trip, Dave. It's fun to look at that historical perspective once in a while. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
